The Great Wild God - Chapter 57
Chapter 57 Profound Talisman
Aristocratic clans could forge talismans.
The armor worn by the Scaled Horse Copper Chariot, Tower Crossbow, Ge Yi, and other Azure Water Warriors were all engraved with profound talismans that could affect the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. They possessed all sorts of abilities, and could be said to be talisman armor forged by aristocratic clans.
However, apart from the relatively simple profound symbols engraved on the front and back of the Heavenly Dipper Talisman Coins, the Scaled Horse Copper Carriage, the Giant Crossbow, and the profound talisman seals engraved on the talisman armor were extremely mysterious and complicated, but they were not something that ordinary people could identify.
Apart from the two Heavenly Dipper Talisman Coins, Chen Xun had never had a chance to come into close contact with a Talisman Tool before. He thought to himself that this Iron Smelting Trial Token must be considered an extraordinary Talisman Tool in Azure Water City.
The tribal clan disciples who brought this Iron Trial Token into Azure Water City would not only be able to become disciples of the Academy, they would also carry it with them in the future. It was also a seal of their identity. It had all sorts of wondrous uses, and they would not be able to teach it until they entered the Azure Water Academy.
Just this trial iron medallion alone was worth fighting over among the various tribes.
Chen Xun restrained his mind and handed the trial iron medallion to Zong Ya to hide it. He saw that the gazes of the surrounding tigers had shifted from him to Zong Ya, and he wished he could devour Zong Ya alive on the spot.
Zong Ya was also fearless, his right arm pressed down on the black sheath saber at his waist, and he calmly looked at the people around him who had ill intentions.
After the bitter winter, although Zong Ya’s left arm was snapped by the Evil Wolf’s elbow and was difficult to repair, his mind had truly grown. From his resolute and steady face, it was hard to tell that he was only fifteen years old.
Chen Xun only smiled in his heart. Looking at the expressions of everyone around him, he knew that only a very small number of desolate beasts could truly sense the remnant soul aura of the Iron Trial Card. However, even a very small number of them would be their main opponents on this trip. Their cultivation levels were almost all at the peak of the sixth level of the Barbarian Martial Arts.
It was also true that only after reaching the peak of the sixth level of the Barbarian realm would the Barbarian Soul develop a trace of spiritual sense.
According to the rules, once they left the Heavenly Horse Lake Stronghold City, the trial would begin.
The tribal clan disciples who participated in the trial had to set foot on the journey to Canglan before they could cover the land tomorrow morning. All the tribal barbarians who escorted their disciples to the Tianma Lake City Stronghold to participate in the trials would not be allowed to stay until three days later.
One after another, tribal clansmen walked out of the stronghold and disappeared into the forest.
It was dusk now, and if Chen Xun and the others walked out of the stronghold with the Iron Trial Token, they would definitely become the target of public criticism. The tribal clan disciples from Heishan and the others who had obtained the Iron Trial Medallion were sitting on the school grounds like Chen Xun and the others, quietly waiting for the arrival of night.
*********************
In order to avoid attracting the attention of others, Chen Xun did not say anything more to Grandpa Zongtu and the others. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the mud floor of the school grounds and closed his eyes to observe.
It was extremely quiet and silent. The soul sea suddenly opened, and the spiritual sense emitted from it could clearly sense the location of the other four trial iron plates, like the dazzling stars in the dark silence of the night.
Although his Spiritual Sense could only sense the faint aura 600 meters away, the remnant soul of the desolate beast confined by the Iron Trial Token was so fierce. Even if it was ten to twenty miles away, he could still sense it.
He could sense the Iron Trial Token in other people’s arms, so others would definitely be able to sense the Iron Trial Token in Zong Ya’s arms.
The tribes of the northern mountain of Python Fang Ridge had sent out all the elites of the younger generation to participate in this trial and compete for the quota to enter the Azure Water College. In fact, there were no lack of experts who had advanced to the seventh level of the Blood Transformation Realm.
This was especially true for the tribal clan disciples who had obtained the Iron Trial Medallion from the beginning. Apart from Black Mountain and Black Python, the other three clans were recognized as powerful clans in the North Mountain of Python Fang Ridge. They would not be satisfied just to ensure that they already had an Iron Trial Medallion in their hands.
Chen Xun could clearly sense the dozens of gazes that the tiger’s eyes were eyeing.
It was still some time before dark, and Chen Xun was fine. He asked Zong Ya to show him the trial iron medallion and hold it in his hand, carefully examining it.
The profound talisman scripts carved around Xiao Yin’s body were even more profound and complex.
Chen Xun looked closely for a moment, and his intuition was dazzling. He was simply unable to identify it.
Chen Xun thought to himself that no matter how mysterious and complicated the profound talisman was, within the scope of the Heaven and Earth Laws, his mind would enter the Soul Sea in order to absorb the divine essence of Qi and Blood and carve out this incomparably complicated profound talisman on the Soul Sea.
However, as soon as his mind started to read, a few dotted lines appeared on his soul sea. He felt that his mind was exhausted and his spiritual sense was showing signs of collapsing.
Chen Xun hurriedly dispersed the dotted lines and recited the Dragon Binding Technique silently. The profound bell’s Fan Yin rose above his soul sea, stabilizing his mind that was showing signs of collapse.
Chen Xun remembered that Su Tang had said that spiritual sense cultivation was the basis for using talismans and techniques.
He had only cultivated the Dragon Binding Art for a short period of time, and his spiritual sense was only as thin as a gossamer thread. The profound talisman on the Iron Smelting Token was not something he could control at this moment.
Chen Xun hid the trial iron medallion in his embrace in front of everyone, took out another Heavenly Dipper Talisman Coin, and sat down cross-legged to observe …
The profound talisman carved from the Heavenly Dipper Talisman Coin was much simpler. It could only absorb a little divine brilliance from Qi and blood, and it could visually take shape above the soul sea.
However, the condensed profound talisman was dim and devoid of light. It floated in the air above the sea of souls, like a dead object.
The Barbarian Soul could release the Barbarian Fiend through the combination of body and parataxis of the Barbarian Martial Arts, merging into the fist, foot, saber, and armor, and possessing an extremely powerful aura.
How should the power of the profound talisman be activated?
Chen Xun recited the Dragon Binding Art silently. As soon as the profound bell Fan Yin produced by the Dragon Binding Art rose in his soul sea, the profound talisman was shattered by the mysterious power contained in the Dragon Binding Art. It scattered into countless tiny bits of light and scattered into a hundred bones.
At this moment, Chen Xun’s blood and qi were pure. Even if he wanted to condense ten profound talismans in the Soul Sea Temple, it wouldn’t be exhausted.
Even if the profound talisman was shattered by the Dragon Binding Art and the divine splendor scattered into a hundred bones, it still had the effect of tempering. He would observe the Talisman Gathering over and over again, and then use the Dragon Binding Art to produce the Brahma Sound to shatter.
After consuming quite a few Black Python Pills’ Essence Gathering Ointment, Chen Xun’s profound talisman carved in his soul sea became even more solid. Although the profound bell’s Fan Yin trembled endlessly and the light and shadow distorted, it did not shatter in the end. Instead, it dangerously hung above his soul sea, and it faintly produced a bit of sucking power towards the ripple-free spiritual sense of the dried well.
Chen Xun knew that this simplest profound talisman could be considered as a preliminary mastery, so he used the Dragon Binding Technique to control a bit of his Spiritual Sense and inject it into it.
The profound talisman immediately glowed in all directions, shining brightly on the soul sea. His mind was also merged into it without any gaps, and he felt as if the entire profound talisman was alive on the soul sea.
Chen Xun’s Spiritual Sense was only able to cultivate to the extent that it was as thin as a gossamer thread, and he didn’t even know the incantation corresponding to the profound talisman, so he naturally couldn’t grasp the incantation technique corresponding to this profound talisman …
Chen Xun felt a pity in his heart. Even if he grasped this profound talisman, he couldn’t bring it into full play. His combat strength hadn’t been substantially enhanced yet.
Chen Xun felt that the surrounding tribal clansmen were beginning to move. He knew that the sky was already dark. They were prepared to use the night to embark on the trial journey, so they planned to stop visualizing, pack their bags with Zong Ya and the others, and prepare to go on their way.
However, when Chen Xun’s mind was about to withdraw from the Soul Sea, the profound talisman that emitted the slightest bit of light did not scatter into tiny fragments of divine splendor like before, scattering into a hundred bones. Instead, it continued to shine brightly through the Soul God.
Chen Xun quickly understood that this was the difference between the cultivation of talismans and that of savage souls.
The Barbarian Martial Cultivator cultivated the Barbarian Soul. He was unable to store true essence in his body. He relied solely on his blood essence to fight against his physical body’s strong mentor. When he fought against the enemy, he instantly visualized the Barbarian Soul and instantaneously used the Barbarian Soul Battle Martial Technique.
Without spirit medicines to eat, when the qi and blood divine essence was depleted, one’s combat strength would be overdrawn to the end, and one could no longer sustain it.
However, profound talismans could remain unextinguished above the soul sea. In fact, when cultivating normally, one could store the qi, blood, and divine splendor in the form of profound talisman true essence in the soul sea.
The more powerful the profound talisman was, the more majestic the Divine Radiance True Essence was. Even without spiritual medicines, relying on the accumulation of cultivation to fight against enemies, it would still be able to exert double or even multiple times its battle power.
Chen Xun opened his eyes. His mind was not in his soul sea, but he could also sense that the profound talisman existed in his soul sea. It would never be extinguished.
**************************
At this moment, the sky was already dark, dark clouds were rolling, and only the turpentine torches in the surroundings were “beeping”, burning fiercely, illuminating the entire school grounds.
Ge Yi stood on the tower and watched as Chen Xun and the others packed their bags and prepared to leave Tianma Lake Stronghold City.
“The youth that Master Thirteen has his eyes on is truly extraordinary. I didn’t expect that he would not accept Master Thirteen’s kindness. Tie Xin wants to tie up with the Black Python Clan. Master Thirteen knows, will he be hurt?” Lou Li pulled out his tender fingers and smiled beside Ge Yi.
Ge Yi already knew that Chen Xun was not cultivating the Nine Nether Barbarian Soul of the Black Python, but when he saw that he stopped to stand up, there was still a faint aura of profound coldness on his body. He was also secretly shocked. With his knowledge, he didn’t know exactly what Chen Xun’s “Profound Skill of Family Inheritance” was, but he could tell that it was extraordinary.
A thirteen or fourteen year old youth with such a pure cultivation was truly extraordinary. Even direct descendants of the Su Clan were not able to accomplish it.
However, Lou Li’s words pierced Ge Yi’s ears. He said solemnly, “The Black Python and he have the kindness to take care of it. If he leaves the Black Python alone, even if he can enter the Academy, I think Master Thirteen might not like it …”
Lou Li smiled sweetly and said, “Oh, really?”
Seeing that Lou Li’s man was smiling like a woman, Ge Bixin felt disgusted. Although he wasn’t afraid of Lou Li, he didn’t need to offend Lou Li. He just said, “I will follow the disciples of the various tribes down south. On the Tianma Lake side, everything will be troublesome for the Canal Commander …”
“That’s easy to say, working for Cang Lan, does Lou Li dare not put his heart into it?” Lou Li smiled.
Ge Yi did not say anything further. When the last batch of tribal disciples who participated in the trial walked out of the Heavenly Horse Lake Stronghold City and submerged into the night, he and Suihu led their scaled horses out and slowly galloped into the night …
